The robots.txt file is intended to be used by everyone. If you restrict its access from the browser, none of the agents will be able to pick it up. That's because all agents use the basic GET request for fetching. For an example, check Slashdot's robots.txt file. If you cannot access it, no user agent / search engine bot / spider / spam bot can access it.

Star gazing used to occupy almost all of my evening time during school days, as years progressed, i progressed to ornithology ;).I had even tried beuilding my own telescope, a la galileo , damn! the spectacle lens never really worked!! :( . Even thought about removing the Binacular lens, then decided against it as those were the only pair of good lens i had!
